Changes between generations

Generation I - The rate it increases each time it takes damage from Toxic or Leech Seed but resets with Haze. When the poisoned Pokémon is switched out or ends a battle, the counter is reset, but if it is cured by Rest, the counter remains and affects the next damage by normal poison, burn or Leech Seed. This can only be reset if the Pokémon is afflicted with Toxic again. This is fixed in Pokémon Stadium
